Hello friend!!

Circulation-<span>is the movement of substances such as nutrients and gases within blood vessels and cavities throughout the body.

</span>

Not all animals have a circulatory system.                                                      Poriferans, cnidarians, platyhelminthes and nematodes (nematodes have pseudocoelom fluid but no vessels) are avascular animals. Echinoderms do not have true circulatory systems either.

In animals that do not contain a circulatory system, the transport of substances occurs by cell to cell diffusion.

Blood is a fundamental means of substance transport for larger animals since, in these animals, tissues are distant from each other and from the environment thus making diffusion impossible.

Circulatory systems can be classified into open circulatory systems and closed circulatory systems.

An open circulatory system is one in which blood does not circulate only inside blood vessels but also flows into cavities that irrigate tissues. In open circulatory systems, blood pressure is low and generally the blood (called hemolymph) has a low level of cellularity.

Arthropods, molluscs (cephalopods are exception) and protochordates have open circulatory systems.


A closed circulatory system is one in which blood circulates only inside blood vessels. For this reason, the blood pressure is higher in animals with closed circulatory systems. The cellularity of the blood is also higher, with many specific blood cells.

Closed circulatory systems are a feature of annelids, cephalopod molluscs and vertebrates

A closed circulatory system is more efficient. Since blood circulates only inside blood vessels, it has a higher pressure and, as a result, can travel greater distances to the organs where hematosis happens and to peripheral tissues. In addition, the higher circulatory speed increases the animal’s capacity to distribute large supplies of oxygen to tissues that consume it in large amounts, such as muscle tissues, which can then perform faster movements. Animals with an open circulatory system (with the exception of insects, which carry out gas exchange separately from circulation) are generally slower and have a low metabolic rate.


<span>In insects, the circulatory system is open but this system does not participate in the gas exchange process or in oxygen supply to tissues. Gases enter and exit through the independent tracheal system, which allows for the direct contact of cells with the ambient air. Therefore, an insect can supply the large oxygen demand of its fast-beating wing muscles even though it has an open circulatory system.</span>

Match each major blood vessel with the correct description
zalisa [80]

The aorta carries oxygen rich blood away from the heart.

The pulmonary artery transports deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.

The inferior vena cava carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the heart.

The coronary artery branches from the aorta and provide oxygen to the heart muscles.

Where is long-wavelength radiation created?
Ivahew [28]

On the earth surface

Explanation:

The long-wavelength radiation is created on the earth surface when electromagnetic radiation is re-emitted.

  • The sun releases radiation in form of short-wave.
  • They are usually more energetic and with short wavelength and a high frequency.
  • When they interact with materials on the earth, they are radiated back as long-wavelength radiation that usually causes heat.
  • Ultraviolet rays and other high energy waves are emitted from the sun because it is a very hot body.
  • When these radiations enters the earth, they are re-radiated back as long waves with lower energy.
  • Earth is cooler than the sun
  • When some of the short waves for example, the ultraviolet rays gets to the surface, it is absorbed and re-radiated back.
  • When the short waves are absorbed, they lose some of their their energy to the earth surface.
  • The remainder is radiated back as less energetic long waves.
  • The hotter a body is, the more energetic the radiation it releases.

Which of the definitions below best defines a mutation?
victus00 [196]

The correct answer is: A. A change in a cell's genetic material.

Mutations occur in DNA as a result of mistakes during the DNA replication (when repair mechanisms don’t fix it) or as the result of environmental factors (e.g. UV light). Mutations can have positive impact, by increasing the genetic variation or can have negative effect, causing the diseases or cancer.

I'm so confused on how to do punnet squares. help?
lubasha [3.4K]
A brown heterozygous rabbit is an animal hat has two different alleles ("B" & "b" are different. One is capital (dominant), and one is lowercase (recessive). a homozygous white rabbit would be someone who has the same alleles. For example, it could have two capital B's (BB) or two lowercase b's. However since we know white fur is recessive and the rabbit is showing recessive WHITE fur, we would represent it as two little b's.

Let's set up our punnett square by drawing a square or box


Then, divide the box up into four equal squares inside the box.

Now, we are going to put our genotypes (Bb & bb) above the box and on the left side ( as shown in the picture.

You cross them kind of like cross multiplying. Remember, the capital B always comes first when needed.

THERE'S YOUR PUNNETT SQUARE! Let's solve the problems.

1.
Genotype is the genetic code. (Ex: Bb, VV, rr)
Phenotype on the other hand is the physical trait (brown fur, blue eyes, rolling your tounge)

So the genotypes of the new generation are Bb & bb

While the phenotypes are brown fur and white fur. Remember, the dominant trait always covers up the recessive. For example, Bb. The rabbit would take brown fur but could give white fur to her offspring because she has a recessive trait for white fur. However, bb would give the rabbit white fur since there is no dominant trait to cover up the recessive.

2.
50% of the rabbit are going to be brown and 50% of the rabbits are going to be white.

This is because the recessive gene isn't covered up by a dominant trait for 50% of the rabbits (bb) but the other 50% will have brown fur because the dominant trait is covering it up.

Hope that clears everything up about punnett squares. Good luck! (:
